DETAILS of this year's Ulster International Rally have been released by organisers to assist crews from both the British Rally and Irish Tarmac championships.Running over two-days the Northern Ireland Motor Club event is returning to Londonderry, with the service park once again based in Ebrington Square. One welcome change from last season will see a regroup in Strabane that will give motoring fans the opportunity to mingle with all the leading drivers.Taking place on August 18 and 19, Event Director Robert Harkness says the Tarmac classic is taking shape with a top-class field of R5 cars expected. “This year's event is well into the planning stages and I can assure you it promises to be as exciting as ever," he said. "With a revised set of stages it means that whether you're competing, whether you're part of the support crew, or whether you're there to enjoy the spectacle, it's not to be missed."
